Michelle Malkin notes that rich families are delighted with New Jersey’s S-CHIP program: “People earning as much as $295,000 are enrolled in a state health care program designed for New Jersey’s poor, according to a new audit that found the state failing to check eligibility for all program enrollees.”
NJ FamilyCare is meant to help working poor parents and children.
But the state auditor found vendors aren’t performing eligibility checks and the state isn’t checking applications for unreported income.
The state also failed to try to collect $4.6 million owed to the program by 16,300 people who were disenrolled, the audit found.
“Working poor,” “working rich,” I mean; it’s all relative, right?
And there’s more, so head on over to Michelle’s place. Ed Morrissey also has more at Hot Air.

PoliGazette Comments Policy
PoliGazette encourages comments from all viewpoints, especially those that disagree.
Comments submitted must, however, adhere to the following standards. Comments that violate
these standards may be edited or deleted without notice at the sole discretion of the editors.
Commenters who repeatedly or egregiously violate these standards or who attempt to argue
publicly with editors regarding the comments policy may be banned from commenting further.
(1) Comments should address the substantive content of the post. Comments that repeatedly
or blatantly misrepresent the content of the post or of others' comments are not welcome. Comments that
respond to something other than which the contributor or commenter may have said are irrelevant and should
not be posted.
(2) Comments should avoid vulgarity as well as racial, ethnic, religious, or sexual bigotry.
(3) Comments should not personally attack the character, personal integrity, or professional
reputation of any PoliGazette contributor or of other commenters.
(4) Comments should reflect the contributions of the commenters themselves and should not
include extensive cut-and-paste reproductions of others' words except insofar as necessary to supplement
the commenter's own arguments. Link spam, trackback spam, and propaganda spam will be instantly deleted.
(5) Public figures are considered open to all substantive criticism of their policies and statements.
Comments that present objectively false factual information about public figures (i.e. "Obama is a Muslim") or
that attack public figures by attacking their families are not welcome. Comments that merely repeat
slogans for or against a candidate without engaging in substantive comment are not welcome.
Questions or challenges to these policies or their application should be directed to the editors
by email only.
Looks like President Bush was right, as I noted <a href="http://mvdg.wordpress.com/2007/09/25/schip-bush-and-the-democrats/">here</a> and <a href="http://stubbornfacts.us/domestic_policy/health_care/the_truth_about_schip_expansion">here</a>.
